LM Otero / The Associated Press By Russell Contreras Jeff Karoub The Associated Press Thu., Jan. 26, 2017 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Many U.S. Muslim and Latino advocates have joined forces in opposing changes to immigration rules by U.S. President Donald Trump, bolstering an alliance between them as they mull the prospect of aggressive restrictions. As Trump signed the first actions Wednesday afternoon, the hashtags NoBan NoWall and Refugees Welcome trended on Twitter, and thousands signed a pro-refugee petition by Christian evangelical groups. Advocates and activists across racial, religious and ethnic lines have linked before but are now mounting a more unified response. Muslims, immigrants and their supporters rallied in New York City and elsewhere in protest. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
